FOOD PERSON

Audio fans' mouths will water as they listen to the excellent narration of Mia Hutchinson-Shaw. In this novel Isabella Pasternak, a semi-washed-out food writer, reluctantly accepts a new gig to ghostwrite a cookbook for former big-time, always hungover soap star Molly Babcock. The kitchen gets messy, and the relationship equally so. Nothing Isabella tries is good enough. Finally, she manages to create delectable dishes any foodie would enjoy. But Molly refuses to put her name on a publication of high-calorie meals filled with butter and gravy. Not surprisingly, their working relationship comes to a head. This delightful debut novel features satire, hash-slinging, and drama. M.L.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
